Workplace Health and Wellbeing

Dear Colleagues,

Workplace health and wellbeing is a growing and critical area of focus in contemporary research and practice, as organisations and employees navigate evolving challenges and opportunities in the modern working environment. The concept of workplace health and wellbeing encompasses a holistic understanding of employee health, extending beyond physical safety to include physical, psychological, emotional, environmental, and social dimensions. As workplaces continue to adapt to technological advancements, globalisation, and changing workforce expectations, the importance of fostering environments that prioritise health and wellbeing has never been greater.

This Special Issue invites submissions which explore the multifaceted nature of workplace health and wellbeing. We are particularly interested in original research, theoretical perspectives, and applied studies that address key issues such as work policies, work–life balance, and the role of leadership in promoting a healthy workplace culture. We also welcome contributions that examine emerging themes, such as the impact of hybrid working models, the integration of mental health initiatives, and the influence of diversity, equity, and inclusion on employee wellbeing.

By featuring diverse perspectives and interdisciplinary approaches, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of the factors that impact and support workplace health and wellbeing and offer practical insights for organisations and policymakers. We therefore encourage submissions that address health and wellbeing across various industries and global contexts, recognising that workplace culture and wellbeing strategies are often shaped by regional, cultural, and sector-specific factors.

In addition to empirical research, we invite case studies, systematic reviews, and interventions that contribute to the growing body of knowledge in this field. This Special Issue aims to serve as a resource for academics, practitioners, and leaders committed to creating sustainable and thriving workplaces.
